True to Moore's Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon - the backbone of modern transistors - loses its electrical properties once devices made from this material dip below a certain size.
Enter 2D materials - delicate, two-dimensional sheets of perfect crystals that are as thin ... more |
